Happy (almost) Pi Day! Exactly a year ago today, Christina and I recorded our first episode of The Limit Does Not Exist from SXSW in Austin. This year finds Christina Puerto Rico-bound, me in the final push to tomorrow's Math Brain release, and both of us cooking up a special Pi Day episode just for you!

We interview Dr. Eugenia Cheng, musician, chef, mathematician, and the author of How to Bake Pi: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics and the upcoming Beyond Infinity: An Expedition to the Outer Limits of Mathematics. Cheng is currently the Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the founder of the Liederstube, an intimate oasis for art song in Chicago’s Fine Arts Building. As a mathematician, Cheng holds three degrees from the University of Cambridge, is an Honorary Fellow of the University of Sheffield, an Honorary Visiting Fellow of City University, London, and she has taught math on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. As a pianist, she has recently performed at Symphony Center, the Smithsonian, Dublin National Concert Hall and many more.

Cheng's episode is a surge of energy and inspiration, and you'll find lots of helpful #HumanVennDiagram takeaways along with really fun tips, such as how to mathematically figure out your perfect size of pizza, and if you listen to the very end, you just might hear Cheng's secret to making the perfect Bananas Foster.

Thanks for listening. If you have questions, feedback, or general feelings, send us a tweet!
